Luo Yonghao Believes AR Glasses Are Unlikely to Be Commercialized Withinthe Next Decade

At the AGI Playground 2025 conference, well-known entrepreneur Luo Yonghao

appeared as a guest and shared updates on his ventures and recent experiences.

Luo revealed that he spent over a year—and a significant amount of money—only to

conclude that AR glasses are unlikely to be commercially viable within the next ten

years, calling it a very costly lesson. He then spent another year working on an

integrated AI hardware-software solution. As technology has advanced, software

rarely becomes a bottleneck, but in this case, “the hardware worked, but the software

turned into an engineering disaster.”

“We had originally planned to launch the hardware-software solution by the end of

last year or early this year,” Luo said. “But due to a major software failure, we weren’t

able to release it.” He added that his new company’s pure software solution may

launch within the next two or three months. “So I’ve come back into the spotlight to

prepare for its release.”

Luo also mentioned a conversation with DeepSeek’s Liang Wenfeng.

Liang asked him, “Why do you insist on doing tech? I think your ability to ‘make a

living by talking’ is among the best in the country.” Liang explained that anyone who

can reach a national top-tier level in any field should not waste that talent.

Reflecting on the comment, Luo said he began thinking: “If I were to pursue

something that relies on speaking while staying closely tied to the tech world—and

could even support my tech entrepreneurship—I’m now considering starting a

podcast like Lex Fridman’s or Joe Rogan’s, to have in-depth conversations with tech

leaders and entrepreneurs.”
